day i picked the car up
got my new BC BR Coils straight from DUBTUNED

Nickmk1's mk1 caddy 20vturbo both of the rigs at HOUSE OF VW
Then after putting big holes in 2 alloy mk4 sumps i moved to a 12v vr6 mk3 steel sump and it saved me heaps !!
still going strong even after a few sparks and harsh driving
painted my other 4motion lip white and put it on and will be painting my rear valance the same. the finish came out really **** imo, when i repaint both lips i will be sure to sand waaaay more and put a heavy primer on so the paint doesn't chip and crack.
